It always seems like you have good access to Middle Eastern ingredients in Australia- in the U.S. (new york, washington), these ingredients are almost impossible to find. Things like warka, yufka, mastic, sahlep, etc. I love seeing these things featured on your site, do continue!Mercedeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00097330009175643958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20759216.post-34897683522466546642007-08-24T22:17:00.000+10:002007-08-24T22:17:00.000+10:00Hi Pat - talk about a lucky coincidence!Thanks Kev...Hi Pat - talk about a lucky coincidence!<BR/><BR/>Thanks Kevin - when cooked it's such a wonderful pastry, it's so crisp but not sharp at all.
